According to the NAA ruling, Tata-Starbucks, a joint venture between the Tatas and the American coffee chain, had hiked the base price of coffee products even after the GST Council cut tax rates on restaurant services.
Tata-Starbucks Coffee has to now deposit the fine along with 18% interest within three months.
